James Ronald "Bunkie" Blackburn (April 22, 1936 – February 28, 2006) was a NASCAR racecar driver.
Blackburn's father owned and operated the Fayetteville, North Carolina racetrack.
In 1967, he was part of a three driver crew that set a world speed record of 174 mph in a Smokey Yunick Z-28 Camaro at the Bonneville Salt Flats in a USAC/FIA event.
He took Johnson's car to the lead with 5 laps to go after Fireball Roberts ran out of gas.
However, Blackburn also ran out of gas on the final lap to hand the victory to David Pearson.
